Applicant Information<\/a><\/p>\n

About Our School<\/p>\n

We are a happy and successful High School with a Sixth Form.\u00a0 We serve the whole community of Droitwich and its surrounding villages, making our intake socio-economically diverse, which our entire staff play up to and thrive upon.\u00a0 We use our House system alongside our academic work to create a sense of belonging, identity and recognition as well as ambition and optimism.<\/p>\n

Our staff are talented and so incredibly supportive of one another.\u00a0 We have a new Headteacher who is determined to treasure the strengths of the school (we have a \u2018Good\u2019 OFSTED rating) as well being ready to address the areas where improvement is needed. \u00a0We have adapted our leadership team in order to secure faster progress towards our objectives and we are particularly excited about our plans to make our staff CPD something that other schools are envious of and can learn from.\u00a0 Our impact on our young people, both scholastically and pastorally, is profound, but we are committed to improving it further.<\/p>\n

You are strongly encouraged to read our \u2018Information for Prospective Colleagues.\u2019\u00a0 We expect that it will give you an even deeper feel for the community we serve, our ethos, our culture and what our school is like day to day.<\/p>\n

About the Vacancy<\/p>\n

Ideally, we would like to appoint to a contract of 0.6 but we are able, for a strong candidate, to make an appointment for 0.8 or even 1.0, especially if he\/she\/they could teach another subject to a good standard.<\/p>\n

There is, of course, a full job description and person specification available but the importance of being able to inspire young people both as a tutor and a teacher and a commitment to working collaboratively with colleagues and to continuous professional development should not be underestimated.<\/p>\n

About our Geography Department<\/p>\n

The Geography department has a strong tradition of supportiveness; colleagues look out for one another and retain a strong sense of purpose.\u00a0 Every member of the team is a specialist.\u00a0 The curriculum is well considered and uses contemporary examples.\u00a0 A team with strong subject knowledge using engaging resources meaning that lessons are of good quality and students make good progress.<\/p>\n

At GCSE the students follow the AQA specification.\u00a0 It is a popular choice, with an average of 5 or 6 groups per year group.\u00a0 Progress in Geography has been respectable but there is room for improvement, particularly with disadvantaged pupils.<\/p>\n

Numbers for Sixth Form are good (but small group sizes are retained).\u00a0 The department uses the AQA specification.\u00a0 The value added in A Level Geography last year was particularly impressive and considerably above national averages.<\/p>\n

Extra information is available in the \u2018Geography Teacher \u2013 Applicant Pack\u2019 document.<\/p>\n
